The Experience

Time to unwind – from the tea and cake on arrival, to the reassuring comfort and luxury of the bedrooms, this is the place to exhale and simply relax. The rambling farmhouse, beautifully updated by Jeeva and Simon, has six acres of spectacular grounds for you to explore and even picnic in.From the conservatory you look out over a glorious English country garden straight out of a Merchant Ivory film, while Simon plies you with his Aga-cooked breakfast, featuring the best of what’s local and seasonal. Sheltered, sandy Wonwell beach is just a 20-minute meander away, and the cheery local pub is closer still.Your thoughtful hosts have made sure their guest rooms have a private entrance so you can come and go as you please. Pleasingly understated, but not to be underestimated.

Accommodation

Reviews

A very comfortable and peaceful stay at Hooppells Torr. Good breakfasts, tasteful and stylish accommodation, and a beautiful garden. The swimming pool is excellent and an unusual feature for a B&B of this size. It provided very welcome relief after a day walking in muggy June weather on the South West coastal path!

Two nights away to celebrate our wedding anniversary and a big birthday couldn’t get much better! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jeeva and Simon we’re great hosts. The tea and cake was a lovely welcome. We felt spoilt by the location with wonderful grounds, the delicious breakfasts - very attentive to our dietary requests, immaculate bedroom and en suite with luxurious toiletries! The swimming pool was a wonderful treat. Particularly after the local circular walk to the local beach and along the South West Coastal Path. Thank you!

We have stayed twice with Jeeva and Simon and both stays were absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail in the rooms and breakfast are wonderful. We stayed in the Hydrangea room each time and I could quite happily live in it! The surroundings are idyllic and taking a stroll round the gardens is to be recommended. We used the pool on our second visit which was a great luxury to have.
Our hosts were on hand to recommend local things to do and places to eat and there were plenty books on the local area to peruse.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend staying here and will definitely be back.

Truly fabulous retreat with wonderful hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, with lovely gardens and ultra clean living space. The decor was delightfully unique and the swimming pool an added bonus. The breakfast was cooked to order with vegetarian option. In all, well worth a visit!

We have just enjoyed 2 nights at Hooppells Torr in the Hyrangea room. The room is fabulous with a gorgeous bathroom. The Hosts made us feel very welcome immediately and even served us home made cake and tea in the beautiful garden. A swim in the wonderful indoor pool each day was a real treat. Thoroughly recommended

You will be well looked after by attentive hosts, Jeeva and Simon. Listening to the bees from the open French windows in their beautifully designed Pondicherry bedroom was one of many special highlights. From the tea and home-made cake served in the garden to swimming in the salt water pool, you can expect to be spoiled. Jeeva and Simon's breakfasts will become legendary - home-made compote, granola, fresh fruit, the full English, sourdough toast, blueberry pancakes and maple syrup -an abundance of all your favourite things! You will be charmed by this special place. Highly recommended.

Ideal getaway for a relaxing and romantic weekend.
Simon & Jeeva made us very welcome. The Hydrangea Room was lovely. The breakfasts were just perfect.
We also enjoyed walking around the 6 acres of garden, having afternoon tea in the shade, swimming in the indoor salt water pool and walking down the lane to a charming pub (The Dolphin Inn) in the evening.
We chose Hoopells Torr specifically to go to the Oyster Shack (Bigbury) but how delighted we were to discover Simon and Jeeva's home!! We will definitely return.

Jeeva and Simon are the perfect hosts, making us feel completely at home. Acres of beautifully maintained gardens with loads of little spaces for you to sit and take in the fantastic view towards the moor. The Pondicherry room is stylishly finished with a spacious shower room. The breakfast was amazing and many thanks for ensuring everything was gluten free. The local pub is walkable and the food good (GF available) with the beaches and coastal paths nearby. With only 2 rooms you'll never feel like it's too busy, perfect for some quiet time .

The neighbourhood

You’re on the outskirts of Kingston, where the Dolphin pub offers good food and a friendly welcome. If you’re after something fresh from the sea, a 10-minute drive to the Oyster Shack in Bigbury will please. Here in the South Devon AONB, all the stunning beaches, stately homes and strenuous outdoor activity you’ll need to work off that breakfast are an easy drive away, and the South West coastal path obligingly runs right past the village church.

Local points of interest from Jeeva & Simon Beckett

Stroll to our fabulous local beach, Wonwell, just over a mile away. The village sits on the South West Coast Path and boasts a brilliant circular coastal walk that starts outside the church and takes in our 16th century local pub.

Visit Bigbury-on-Sea, just 10 minutes’ drive away, for surfing lessons or take the sea tractor to Burgh Island and enjoy a drink at the Pilchard Inn. Breathe in the fresh sea air and relax.

Enjoy seasonal crab, lobster, oysters and fish at The Oyster Shack, local meats and game at The Ship Inn and enormous Sunday lunches at The Journey's End. All within a 15 minute drive.

Join a gin distillery tour at the hip new Salcombe Gin or historic Plymouth Gin in the city's old Barbican quarter. Take a masterclass where you can create and distil your very own bottle to take home.

Jeeva & Simon Beckett

Cheerful Jeeva and Simon fled London for rural Devon for a change of pace. Jeeva’s years of work in some of the capital’s finest boutique hotels and Simon’s love of food and cooking make staying here special. Jeeva invites guests on walks in the gardens to help them relax, while Simon has a professional wine qualification and has curated a list of wines available to guests – the best of all possible worlds. Toddler Luke and cat Sidney complete the happy picture.
